Greetings,

when attempting to clone repositories (Linus's kernel, stable 2.6.16, OMAP kernel) I seem to come across the following more or less constantly:

mmu@spud1:/var/git$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.16.y.git linux-2.6.16
Generating pack...
Done counting 195441 objects.
Deltifying 195441 objects.
 100% (195441/195441) done
fatal: unexpected EOF)      
fatal: packfile '/var/git/linux-2.6.16/.git/objects/pack/tmp-QeO4uB' SHA1 mismatch
error: git-fetch-pack: unable to read from git-index-pack
error: git-index-pack died with error code 128
fetch-pack from 'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.16.y.git' failed.

and

mmu@spud1:/var/git$ cg-clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.16.y.git linux-2.6.16
defaulting to local storage area
Fetching pack (head and objects)...
Generating pack...
Done counting 190732 objects.
Deltifying 190732 objects.
 100% (190732/190732) done

fatal: packfile '.git/objects/pack/tmp-4BiKAb' SHA1 mismatch
error: git-fetch-pack: unable to read from git-index-pack
error: git-index-pack died with error code 128
cg-fetch: fetching pack failed

and... and...

I compiled a rather recent version of git:

mmu@spud1:/var/git$ git --version
git version 1.4.2.rc1.ge7a0

and the all other libs required are up-to-date as well.

So; am I missing something or should cloning of current trees at kernel.org go down smoothly. Any advice apprecieated.

This sounds like you had a timeout before the complete pack was 
transmitted (the Deltifying takes place on the other side).

Hth,
